It's only Wednesday, but the LSU Tigers already have plenty of bulletin board material for Saturday's matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores. The battle between the 10th-ranked Tigers and 17th-ranked Commodores is arguably the most intriguing matchup of the weekend, and fireworks are already flying days before the game begins.
For the first time since 1948, LSU is an underdog against Vanderbilt. Vegas oddsmakers don't trust the Tigers to walk out of Nashville with a win, as the Commodores are favored by 2.5 points. It's the first time in 51 games that Vanderbilt is favored over an SEC team, and the first time since 1978 that Vandy is favored over a top-10 team.
